Tune Your Tactics Antenna

Emmanuel Neiman

If only real life were like a book with tactics exercises!

But during a game you are on your own. Nobody will whisper in your ear that you have reached a position that is, in fact, a tactical puzzle and all you have to do is solve it.
What you need, discovered Emmanuel Neiman in his long career as a chess trainer, is a way to read the signals which indicate that, somewhere in the position you are looking at, there is a tactical blow. What you need is a Chess Tactics Antenna!

In this trail-blazing book, Emmanuel Neiman presents the seven main signals that help you to determine the moment you must start looking for a win. He also teaches you, with lots of instructive examples, how to interpret these signals and how to find the killer move.

Emmanuel Neiman is a FIDE master who teaches chess in his home country France. He has written several highly successful books on chess tactics and chess training including "Invisible Chess Moves" with co-author Yochanan Afek.
